Software of GAMMA-3 system for synthesis and mathematical modelling of UAV control systems

Abstract

Control system design for complex technical plants includes execution of computationally complicated procedure sets. Many of those demand repeated iterative execution. Iterations are caused by uncertainty of a control task, incompleteness of the information on control plant and conditions of its functioning. Another important reason is related to insufficiently perfect methods of the automatic control theory, because of its ongoing active development. Therefore, the task of developing the computer-aided control system design is as relevant as before. The publication is devoted to the statement of an approach to expansion of GAMMA-3 multipurpose system opportunities. An important feature of GAMMA-3 system includes opportunities for solving the tasks via both traditionally procedural and non-procedural statements. At the first stage, the proposed approach provides the expansion of classes of procedural task statements as the most formalized process. At the following stage, formalization and generalization of saved procedural knowledge in new expanded model of the subject domain takes place. The domain in question allows for non-procedural task statement. Solving non-procedural declared tasks requires using intellectual components of GAMMA-3 system. In this paper, we illustrate the first stage of the proposed approach on the example of creating GAMMA-3 software package for solving the problems on the synthesis of a control system by modeling UAV movement on defined trajectory. One of the main tasks conducted by UAV is surveying remote areas, where data acquisition by habitual ways is complicated or there is a danger to lives and health of the people.
